BALTIMORE -- The Orioles certainly didn't sound like sellers Saturday afternoon. Executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette, addressing the team's season-ticket holders in the annual "State of the Orioles" address, said he believes this year's club can still contend for a postseason spot.
"I got a lot of confidence in the guys that we have that we can put it together. This is a tough division. Day in, day out, we have to compete against the toughest teams in the league," Duquette said of an Orioles team that entered Saturday 4 1/2 games back of the second American League Wild Card spot.
